a little collection

Have you seen this book? Or "encyclopedia of books" I should say?The Stitch Collection by Debbie O'Neill is the perfect collection consisting of five mini books. Each book is small enough (and light enough!) to be carried around in your knitting bag.I love how it is packaged and laid out, in an organized easy to find manor. It is a set of five mini books of the stitches themselves, designed to help you choose the best stitch pattern for a particular project. Each individual stitch pattern (225 total) is ranked according to its level of difficulty and amount of drape. It basically consolidates a bunch of valuable information into a simple little book. I love that!

I have one to give away. Leave a comment between now and Thursday the 19th at 12 p.m. EST and I will draw a name.

cheers for sharing! i've been drooling over this little set for a while now, it would be totally awesome to win a set. i'm not allowed to buy books until after my big trip, but getting them in a give away doesn't count, right?

You have the most amazing give aways - I have been searching every where for a pressie for a new knitter, so this is a great Idea. Please put me in the draw (cause of course we both need one, lol) thank you again for your generosity

I have no idea where I saw this originally, but I was wondering what it was exactly. I didn't realize it was 5 tiny books! I don't have very many knitting books, and I've been looking for something like these. It was be an amazing to have these in my tiny (but hopefully growing) collection of knitting books!

Your blog is my favorite. I do have a question for you. Do you have a stash of yarn or do you purchase as needed? It seems as though when you are ready for a new project, you are just purchasing it. I believe I have a stash problem and therefore, do not have the right amount for particular projects. I should be more prudent.

What a great giveaway! I am a beginning knitter (again) so I could use a "stick in the purse" reference book like this! By the way, I love your blog! It is one of the reasons I want to learn to knit again!

Those are fantastic. Particularly for a knitter who is also a librarian [me]. And when not using them for reference, you can pull them out and hit people with them! A must-have for the knitting bag, for sure. :)
